Judas Priest and Rammstein Announce Massive 2026 Co-Headlining Tour
In a move that has already electrified the global metal community, Judas Priest and Rammstein have officially announced a massive co-headlining tour set for 2026. The partnership brings together two of the most influential forces in heavy music—Judas Priest, the legendary British metal pioneers with over five decades of dominance, and Rammstein, the German industrial titans known for their explosive theatricality and unmatched live spectacle.
Both bands revealed the collaboration earlier today through synchronized social media posts featuring a stark, fiery graphic displaying their iconic logos side by side. While specific dates and venues remain under wraps, the announcement confirmed that the tour will span major cities across North America, Europe, South America, and select stops in Asia and Australia. Organizers describe the upcoming run as “one of the most ambitious global metal tours ever attempted.”
Fans are already buzzing with speculation about the production scale, especially given Rammstein’s reputation for pyrotechnics, massive staging, and industrial choreography. With Judas Priest’s razor-sharp dual-guitar assault and Rob Halford’s still-towering vocals, the pairing promises a sonic and visual onslaught unlike anything seen before.
Early press statements hint at a collaborative finale featuring members of both bands, though details remain tightly guarded. Industry insiders suggest that the tour may coincide with new releases from each band, adding further anticipation to an already monumental event.
Pre-sale tickets and full itinerary details are expected to drop in the coming months. Until then, fans worldwide are left counting down the days, eager for what could be one of the defining metal tours of the decade. If the early announcements are any indication, 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year for heavy music.
